Table operations

Fetch scalar and table variables

Send a series of SNMP GETBULK requests with the following options:

• with SNMPv3 with user ‘usr-md5-des’, MD5 auth and DES privacy protocols
• over IPv4/UDP
• to an Agent at 104.236.166.95:161
• with values non-repeaters = 1, max-repetitions = 25
• for two OIDs in tuple form (first OID is non-repeating)
• stop on end-of-mib condition for both OIDs

This script performs similar to the following Net-SNMP command:

$ snmpbulkwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u usr-md5-des -A authkey1 -X privkey1 -C n1 -C r25 -ObentU 104.236.166.95 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.1

Send a series of SNMP GETNEXT requests * with SNMPv3 with user ‘usr-none-none’, no auth and no privacy protocols * over IPv4/UDP * to an Agent at 104.236.166.95:161 * for an OID in string form * stop whenever received OID goes out of initial prefix (it may be a table)
